Rafael van der Vaart may be on his way out of White Hart Lane this summer, with reports linking the Dutchman with a return to the Bundesliga with Schalke.

Van der Vaart will be among the top transfer targets in Europe this summer after Spurs missed out on a place in the Champions League next season following Chelsea's victory in this year's competition.

And the 29-year-old, who has been with Harry Redknapp's side for two seasons, is now thought to be considering a return to Germany - where he spent three years with Hamburg before joining Real Madrid in 2008.

Schalke are reportedly keen to bring in the playmaker for £12 million, allowing Van der Vaart to link up with Dutch team-mate Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

But the playmaker denied that he is thinking about his future, with his thoughts consumed by Netherland's Euro 2012 campaign.
